This is the next chapter in Ezio's story and the first Assassin's Creed game to have multiplayer on a home console. Personally, I'm pumped because I absolutely loved the time period and Ezio. Being able to play it with a few bros sounds even better.

Im not too excited. If it has fully cuztomizable characters then I might be. But I was more interested in the Story of AC, so if its not a direct story telling lead on from AC2 then id rather wait for AC3.

Well, the link does say that Ezio is now a legendary master assassin and he leads a brotherhood of assassins to conquer Rome, which is where AC II ended. So, I'd pretty much say the story is a continuation. As for the multiplayer, don't be ready to judge it so quickly. How can you say going around Rome assassinating dudes with friends doesn't sound awesome?

I was excited till i learned this was just a 15 hour spin-off that doesnt include desmund. Ubisoft, conserve your time and money for AC3 please!! i want a full game, not some halfhearted attempt that will only sell because it has multiplayer.
